The Calendar Fundraiser was implemented by the Board of Directors this past spring as a means of bringing more revenue into the league. The Saco Senior Little League provides more than 100 boys between the ages of 13 and 16 in Saco, Dayton and Arundel. The league's budget breaks down to more than $100 per player. Since the Saco Senior Little League doesn't have a home of its own—a concession stand, or an outfield fence on which to hang sponsors signs, both typical means of raising money for Little Leagues. The Calendar fundraiser is a mandatory fundraiser for all players in the league. Each player was assigned eight calendars to sell or buy themselves. Before uniforms were issued this season all calendars and money were due. This method assured the league that the fundraiser would be successful. All players and their parents were made aware of this fundraiser prior to registration.
